Brittney Griner will model men's clothing for Nike

Brittney Griner is breaking down another barrier by being the first openly-gay athlete to be endorsed by Nike, but don’t think they’re going to salt her game, she has already made up her mind to model more of an androgynous style of clothing.

ESPN’s Kate Fagan revealed that Griner’s contract will allow her to wear clothes branded for men.

Androgynous models are coveted in high-end fashion, but the trend toward gender-neutral clothing has only just begun to reach the sports world, with NBA stars Russell Westbrook and Dwyane Wade blurring the lines in their tight jeans and fitted sweaters.

“It clicked for me,” Griner says. “I used to do the whole baggy, hard-core, I’m-a-boy look. Then I went through a preppy phase. Now I have the athletic, bow-tie look. I found my style.”
